There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The investigators assessed overall physical activity and sleep quality in subjects with knee osteoarthritis(OA) at baseline, and at four and 12 weeks following initiation of physical therapy. Subjects received a course of manual physical therapy with interventions targeted to relevant impairments in the lower quarter. No progressive activity intervention or guidance on sleep hygiene was included. The purpose of this study was to assess a relationship between manual physical therapy and habitual physical activity and sleep behavior in individuals with knee OA.
This is a pilot and feasibility study of transplant eligible, higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients to determine the safety and tolerability of a lower -dose and higher-dose CPX-351 regimen, with secondary objectives including complete remission (CR) rates and proportion of patients proceeding to transplant.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), also known as "acne inversa," is a chronic dermatologic disease affecting apocrine gland-bearing areas and presenting with symptoms ranging from pustules and inflammatory nodules to draining sinuses, abscesses, and fistulae. The pain and odorous lesions associated with HS contribute to its heightened impact on quality of life in comparison to other diseases; it has been described as "one of the most distressing conditions observed in dermatology." Though it is clear that HS has a significant impact on quality of life, how this manifests remains poorly characterized. The aim of this study is to characterize the quality of life impact of HS and to validate a tool for patients to self-assess the severity of their condition.
Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) abnormalities are common in HIV+ individuals and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The complexity and the individualized differences in causes of these abnormalities have been challenging to unravel using traditional approaches. In this proposal, the investigators construct a systems' modeling approach to identify novel molecular and clinical pathways contributing to DLco impairment in HIV+ individuals and to determine predictive signatures of DLco decline in order to develop strategies to treat and prevent abnormal lung function in this susceptible population.
Mindfulness-based Interventions (MBIs) are a family of standardized cognitive and behavioral therapies that focus on cultivating mindfulness-related skills for improving maladaptive cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes. MBIs have been developed for a wide range of problems, disorders, and populations and are increasingly available in a variety of health settings. This mixed methods study proposes to investigate proposed neurobiological, physiological, psycho-social-behavioral, and cognitive mechanisms by which MBIs may improve health outcomes.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of denosumab on bone turnover in individuals with fibrous dysplasia (FD). Secondary objectives are to determine the effect of denosumab on bone pain, FD lesion intensity as revealed in 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scan, and to determine the effect of denosumab discontinuation on bone turnover re-bound after discontinuation. Study Population: Up to 14 adult subjects with FD may be enrolled to ensure complete study data on 9 subjects. Design: This study is a single center, open label pilot study of once-monthly dosing of denosumab. Subjects will be treated for 6 months, after which they will be followed by an 8-month observation period. A final visit will occur 21 months after denosumab discontinuation. Dosing will be adopted from studies in adults on treatment for giant cell tumors, with denosumab administered at 120 mg per dose every 4 weeks, with loading doses on days 7 and 14 of month 1. Outcome Measures: Primary: Assessment of the effects of denosumab on: 1. Markers of bone turnover: Beta-crosslaps C-telopeptides (bone resorption marker) Procollagen-1-propeptide (bone formation marker) Secondary: Assessment of the effects of denosumab on: 1. Bone histomorphometric indices: Mineralized perimeter Bone formation rate Cortical width Cortical area Osteoid width Osteoid perimeter Mineral apposition rate 2. Surrogate markers of a direct therapeutic effect of denosumab on FD lesions: Semi-quantitative changes in RANKL, Ki67 (marker of cell proliferation), p16 (marker of cell senescence), and/or apoptosis index before and after treatment, as assessed by immunohistochemistry Changes in sentinel lesion intensity, measured quantitatively by uptake on 18Fsodium fluoride PET/CT bone scan. 3. FD-related bone pain assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory (Short Form) , a validated self-reporting tool for assessment of pain. Exploratory Endpoints: 1. Effect of denosumab initiation and discontinuation on Serum calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone Serum RANKL and osteoprotegerin (OPG), and RANKL/OPG levels 2. Effect of denosumab discontinuation, as measured by the following outcomes: Biochemical markers of bone metabolism: beta-crosslaps C-telopeptides, procollagen-1 propeptide, bone specific alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, NTX-telopeptides 3. Effect measured by change in other outcome measures, such as: Bone density assessed by DXA Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation evaluation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RT001 in patients with Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD).
This is a randomized, open label, multicenter phase III trial comparing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tisagenlecleucel to Standard Of Care in adult patients with aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma after failure of rituximab and anthracycline containing frontline immunochemotherapy.
This study is to evaluate the effects of the SMART-3RP (Stress Management and Resiliency Training Relaxation Response Resiliency Program) on physician and academic faculty well-being, perceived stress, burnout, compassion, and job satisfaction.
This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in treating participants with prostate cancer high-risk features following radical prostatectomy. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.
